Throw in some open string harmonics, wham bar wiggle, and a Boss Chorus and you're in the zone - the 80s zone! "I don't use much Chorus these days; I think I used it all up in the 80's" - Dann Huff
LOVE me some chorus-y 80's riffs, especially with the 'pedaling'! While my main interests lean a bit harder/heavier, I grew up with Ratt and Dokken and the like, and they were SO influencial to my guitar playing as a beginner. I wholeheartedly applaud 80's week! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Came back here to say I bought your 80s guitar course. It’s one of those courses that three lessons in has lit lightbulbs in my brain. The kind of tuition that only comes from a genuine enthusiast that’s been on the journey. It’s excellent, and for 30 bucks it was a steal.
Bought the course too. It's not so easy to analyze all the 80s legacy to make your own way, so it's really important when someone can share their experience. Thank you for doing that.
Glad to see you back in 80's mode for a bit. Found your channel over a year ago looking for examples and lessons of 80's style riffing, etc. Always appreciate all of your content, but definitely love your videos on 80's guitar. Horns up! 🤘🤘
Great lesson - I always noodle around with the 80's sound in the key of A and E so I can play around with the open strings - just love the 80's sound and never tire of it...thanks for sharing your obvious appreciation of it as well...great fun !!!
I immediately thought of Ratt and Warren D when I heard Robert start. The info contained in this video suuports my thought that Ratt's Round and Round has the 80s best riff and progression in it. It is magical
I just bought 80s course. I can't express how much I appreciate the incredible content and your teaching style! I love the way you breaks down complex concepts makes learning so enjoyable. Thank you very much, Robert! Next station, Rock N Roll! \m/
I'm just amazed at how much my progress was slowed by knowing barre chords before working with triads. With full barre chords, the options were so much more limited, but as soon as I broke them down into diads and triads, the whole instrument came alive! Your work here is a great example of this. All the great guitar players knew this, but I didn't know and so just played barre chords all the time. Glad I know now.
Agreed 100%! Barre chords are like Lego bricks glued together. If you had them all separately from the beginning, creativity would flow much more easily. Take notes, guitar teachers ;-)
Love your style here… u make things very simplified and break it down well for the less experienced to understand…. I grew up on the 80s sound. Loved ratt back in the day. They had such a great sound.
Love that tone Robert!!! You always come in hot with fantastic riffs. Growing up in the 80’s was truely the greatest time for hard rock. Nothing compares in my opinion. Can’t wait to dive into the course! My Amplitube George Lynch preset is just waiting for me!!!!
I do this kinda by default, and have been ever since the VH, Ratt years. I mix it in with other styles, and it works very well. Even in clean mode and mainly by accident. The audience loves it because I don't try to show off, but I use it to "dress up" common songs and use it sparingly. It works. Never really gave it this much thought though..
I REALLY like that half step walk down riff at @2:00. Talk to me more about that and where have I heard that at before??? Killer lesson dude... you rawk!
You’re a really good teacher, dude. Like how you explained it simple as peddle on the A string. I never knew that was what made that sound cause I’m so used to do it on the low string for modern music
VERY GOOD VID! There is some great music out there but even now today my favorite music is what I listened to as a teen in the early 80's! I feel blessed to have witnessed in person these metal gods creating iconic music on the stages. I attended hundreds of concerts and saw and heard them all and I am very pleased to see that a younger generation of musicians hears and appreciates what I have always felt is the best music ever produced in the world, LONG LIVE THE 80's !!!!! You got a new subscriber!
That was 42 seconds of superb riffing and soloing. Great intro! That open b making use of the major 2nd interval is great because it can be used in most settings whether major or minor… fun stuff and makes the guitar take up a lot more sonic space.
All of what we do on guitar is super simple just sounds really hard …Especially the 80s stuff ..I absolutely love it when I get on a grove riff and spice it up !!! I love it !!! Thanks so much for proving how simple it can be you sounded amazing brother…
Love this video and the one you did the 80s scale has really took my playing to next level I was stuck with pentatonic and my solos sounded bluesy I like that sound but wanted that 80s metal sound so thank you and keep them coming
Hey my man good Vidio I’m somewhat of an 80s child so I can relate to everything you are doing. I love how you explain things because people don’t understand things but you explain them very well to them. I’m digging your stuff you’re an excellent player.
A little off track but your courses have been amazing with my new guitar journey. I could never use a pick, but your melodic picking course fixed that. Playing bass for 30+ years gave me good fingers but your courses are really cementing my knowledge for guitar. Now, I am learning Rush, Tom Petty and 38 Special, rhythm and lead. Its been a fast four months but things are coming quickly and a real blast. Thank you. I had to get this course.
Awesome Dimartini signature! And one band who loved using those 2 middle strings in riffs was Def leppard songs! From Billys Got A Gun to White Lightning always loved covering songs from them with Phil Collens
A ton of distortion, slapback delay and some wicked reverb = badness. Other effects can be added as needed. Flanger, Chorus, Harmonizer, and maybe a bit of Wah.
The open string Ratt riff from Back For More is Robbin Crosby, Not Warren. It's astounding how much people think everything was always DeMartini when it wasn't. The vast majority of the well known RATT tunes, Robbin was the principle songwriter.. And up until roughly 'Dancing Undercover he played a ton of leads as well. Point being, Robbin played the arpeggiated part, Warren the barre chord part.
Some THE best guitar work ever. 80's still influential. Makes me drive way to fast, great for beating the tar outta any dirtbike or your 4x4. I'm 60 now and love crankin my 100w katana combo for my neighbors and bang out some 80's jams.
It's incredible to sit and think of all the songs that are pretty doing exactly what you are talking about. 2 that pop in my ming are Close My Eyes Forever and Modern Day Cowboy. Both use open strings like this. Great video, I really enjoyed it
Being born before the 80’s I didn’t & don’t care for most of the 80’s music and being a guitarist for over 4 decades ..honestly only watched this video to support you Robert🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻 You are awesome dude!
This reminds me of the style of Dream Theater in their 90's albums and why it's one of my favorite music of all. The clear tones, no 7 strings, tough riffs, but still you can feel the influence of Hard Rock mixed with Heavy Metal and something else. Damn! I have to start investing in some gear!
I think Warren is very under rated. He had a great sense of melody and could utilize tension and release at will Always played what was right for the song as it should be.
Great lesson. Could I ask what pickup is in the bridge for the Charvel? Mine is a DK-24 HSH and the bridge pickup I believe is called a full shred, I think its too clear and piercing to break up nicely like yours is doing.
you use your pinky mostly Robert when you play po r chords i don't use my pinky on chords anymore since 85 before that on classical guitar i did about 1/3 time

Throw in some open string harmonics, wham bar wiggle, and a Boss Chorus and you're in the zone - the 80s zone!
"I don't use much Chorus these days; I think I used it all up in the 80's" - Dann Huff
My favourite era of rhythm guitar, such elegant chord voicings. 😎👍
Lay it down was another great riff!!!. Warren is criminally underrated. Great course Robert!!!!!. Keep up the great work 🤘
Love '80's rock for sure. What an awesome time to be alive!
LOVE me some chorus-y 80's riffs, especially with the 'pedaling'! While my main interests lean a bit harder/heavier, I grew up with Ratt and Dokken and the like, and they were SO influencial to my guitar playing as a beginner. I wholeheartedly applaud 80's week! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Chorus, delay and chunky distortion are all you need for the win.

Love your kick ass 80s stuff! Your tone and style are so cool! Just grabbed the 80s course, can’t wait to dig in with your help!
80’s riffs, chorus, and Rob teaching…💯💯💯💯
Totally cool and spot on! I enrolled in the course, looking forward to it!
This reminds me a lot of what Rush would do. Alex Lifeson would use open strings and pedal tones a lot.
The intro was like a blend of Megadeth and Primal Fear, really awesome. Bought the course!
Immediately thought of Megadeth at the start with that progression.
Was thinking Empire-era Queensrÿche myself 🤟🤟
It’s basically Back For More - RATT
I can actually feel my hair becoming more bouffant the more I keep coming back to this video series🤔
Terrific content, Robert😎👊
I know right! I was losing my hair before this video, now it's thick and creamy like those riffs 🤣🤣
Love your style here… u make things very simplified and break it down well for the less experienced to understand…. I grew up on the 80s sound. Loved ratt back in the day. They had such a great sound.
Great playing as always Robert!

I've been writing songs since 1980 and have always loved using open strings. I sometimes use an open tuning that really brings the open strings alive
bought the course, love the 80s looking forward to diving into it this weekend :)
Thanks for the latest short. Purchased your 80’s lessons when I received the notification. Now I need some time to start the course.
I love the way you break it down. Thank you so much for sharing!

"Back For More". Love that song! LOL. I definitely heard some OZZY as in "Killer Of Giants" while playing through your chorus SE.
"Killer of Giants" by Ozzy is a great example of this lesson.
Awesome little lesson; exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot, man! 👍🤘
Killer riffage Robert !!! Love this
That charv is a beaut
It’s next on my list I’m saving for one . Lol
The charvel with that dirty ibanez maple neck would be the shit
Nice abreev bro
I think you misspelled Ibby there

Awesome sound and riffs! The 80´s guitar riffs are the best. Like Ratt´s Lay It Down my fav🤘🏻
Picked up the new course a few days back and absolutely loving it btw!
Thank you homie!
This was a great lesson! Yes, I love these riffs as well. Great job and playing and tone!

Great exercises for 80's riffs!
I love the tone - very crisp!
I’m loving this series!
I just bought the course :) Looking forward to learn more about this style
Thank you!!!
@@RobertBakerGuitar The 80s trick is already in the Riff of Alice Coopers „No More mr nice guy“ from the 70s
Love this video and the one you did the 80s scale has really took my playing to next level I was stuck with pentatonic and my solos sounded bluesy I like that sound but wanted that 80s metal sound so thank you and keep them coming
That gives off some Crimson Glory vibes!

Oh man, this is exactly me when I'm noodling! Guess I'm severely influenced by the decade I grew up in. Thanks Robert!
Definitely buying the course payday, been trying to feel passionate about the guitar again for a long time and I think this might do the trick!
Love the 80s riffs 🤘🏻
The intro had some serious early Yngwie vibes
this is a wonderful vid - i still love that stuff - i had no idea what they were doing. so simple and such great music
The biggest 80’s hack : chorus pedal

Thank you for this Don. I’m really glad that the courses have helped in some way. It means a lot man.
Thx for the Def Lepard lesson!
Great opening shred.
And a great discussion/lesson overall 🤟
It is great to see you playing the Ibanez! That was a killer intro! 80s were the best!
Awesome Dimartini signature! And one band who loved using those 2 middle strings in riffs was Def leppard songs! From Billys Got A Gun to White Lightning always loved covering songs from them with Phil Collens

Sound so good, such a good and useful lesson
Just bought a new 80 course, supported from a fellow content creator
Great stuff! Bought the course a few days ago and looking forward to blasting some ‘80’s riffage!
YES!!! Thanks so much
Love to know what you’re using for amplification in this video
That first riff was straight up Back For More - RATT. Favourite 80’s band
I heard it too! Ratt is the greatest.
Being born before the 80’s I didn’t & don’t care for most of the 80’s music and being a guitarist for over 4 decades ..honestly only watched this video to support you Robert🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻 You are awesome dude!
Well not everyone has great taste.
Super cool riff tip!! More please!!
Sick playing! That Charvel is f’n awesome!
This reminds me of the style of Dream Theater in their 90's albums and why it's one of my favorite music of all.
The clear tones, no 7 strings, tough riffs, but still you can feel the influence of Hard Rock mixed with Heavy Metal and something else.
Damn! I have to start investing in some gear!
I think Warren is very under rated. He had a great sense of melody and could utilize tension and release at will Always played what was right for the song as it should be.
Thanks for introducing me to Giant (the band). Pure 80s and I love it.
the course is awesome thank you
Brilliant, thank you!!!
Love that yellow Kramer. Red Rocker vibes!
Really enjoying the course! When are the parts 2-3 that are alluded to in the course happening?
Part two well release as a Black Friday special :)
Accidentally listened to the intro jam at 1:75 speed and man, that worked!
I feel like a teenager again! This stuff is in my bones lol
Great lesson. Could I ask what pickup is in the bridge for the Charvel? Mine is a DK-24 HSH and the bridge pickup I believe is called a full shred, I think its too clear and piercing to break up nicely like yours is doing.
5:05 sounds like Dokken or Queensryche. Metal truly reached it's prime in the 80's and early 90's.
That ending riff!! Sounded (ironically) like a mashup of Ratt and Michael Schenker!!
Wow that whole guitar riff at the end sounds so “Dokken” back than in the 80’s! Cool man!
The tone! ❤
ibanez and charvel....so on brand. love it
Love your 80s course ! 😎🎸
This is a great video. Love your opening mini Tune!
you use your pinky mostly Robert
when you play po
r chords
i don't use my pinky on chords
anymore since 85
before that on classical guitar i did about 1/3 time
Love the Warren guit fiddle
Man- you are a joy to watch! Thanks so much for the AWESOME content, Robert. In every video!!! 😊
Thanks for watchign homie :)
first 45 sec intro also reminded me of stryper as well
You da man!
Great lesson thanks
That open strings drone part reminded me sooo much of murders in the rue morgue by Iron Maiden
that was totally rad
